Here at Aquia Car Care, we want your
car leaving our shop fixed right. We use up to date machines which help
us meet that goal.

Alignment

We use top of the line Hunter
Engineering alignment machine. This machine features the latest in alignment
system technology including the new DSP600 Digital Imaging Alignment sensors
for Picture Perfect® alignment.

With this machine we are able to do up to 24 inch wheels and can align
cars with ground effects and other such obstructions that have to be removed
so older machines can work. We have also added the extensions on to the
rack to do larger trucks.

Tire
and Wheel Removal

We use the Hunter Engineering TC3500 tire
changer that will safely change the world's toughest new performance tire
and wheel combinations. We can dismount any low profile tire from any
wheel with out harming the beautiful chrome or polished aluminum. This
machine allows us to dismount and mount wheels up to 24".

The newest addition to our equipment is the
Hunter Engineering TCX550. This machine services virtually everything from
simple steel wheels to difficult low-profile and run-flat tires mounted
on large, custom alloy wheels. The patented, wheel-centered Bead Press System
aids in blocking and pressing stiff, low-profile tire beads into deep drop-center
wheels.
The black arms provide assistance in mounting and demounting stiff sidewall
tires and wheels up to 28” in diameter.

Tire and Wheel Balancing

We use the Hunter Engineering GSP9700 Road
Force Measurement® System balancer. It provides a tire assembly “road
test” while mounted on the unit. Locates and eliminates virtually
every cause of wheel vibration relating to the tire and rim. Features
StraightTrak® LFM which eliminates tire-related pull problems by balancing
lateral forces on the front axle. With this machine, we are able to place
the tires on the car for the least vibration or least pull. Just because
you buy new tires doesn't mean they are perfect! For more information

Diagnostic Repair

Our technicians own their own personal scanners.
One of these is the Snap-On MODIS™ System. Its a new and innovative
diagnostic platform that allows technicians to pinpoint and diagnose today's
sophisticated vehicles faster. The MODIS™ System incorporates the
Color Graphing Scanner™ scan tool with Fast-Track® Troubleshooter
software, the industry's only experience-based troubleshooting software.
This scanner helps him to track and repair problems in a timely manner.

Braking

The newest addition to our shop is the Hunter
Engineering On the Car Brake Lathe. The patented ServoDrive™ variable
drive system enables technicians to service rotors by providing variable
speed and rotational torque during compensation and machining. The ServoDrive
system allows service of rear locking differentials popular on light trucks
and SUVs without the need to remove or disengage drive line components.
The machine also has the new Anti Chatter Technology (ACT) feature which
oscillates the machining speed of the lathe and eliminates the buildup of
vibration (chatter) that can occur when machining at a fixed speed. This
method provides a smoother finish that prevents pedal pulsation - the number
one cause of brake service customer “comebacks”.

We are now able to fabricate our own hoses.
There have been many occasions where the availability of brake hoses have
caused normal jobs to sit on the lift and tie up our customer's time. With
this new technology we are now able to build any brake or clutch hose for
any vehicle. For more information Click Here.

Air Conditioning Service

We use the Viper GT Air Conditioning R134A &
R12 Service Center. This machine recovers the remaining Freon out of the
vehicle and measures how much was pulled out. Then the vehicle is put into
a vacuum to check for leaks and remove any additional pressure. Usually
while in the vacuum state we add two ounces of florescent oil which also
helps to identify leaks. Last the vehicle is charged with Freon. The machine
electronically measures how much Freon is exchanged.

Transmission
Flush

We use the BG Power Flush and Fluid Exchange
System. It dissolves and removes harmful deposits from critical transmission
components and exchanges the old, oxidized ATF for new fluid of the exact
specifications required by the car manufacturer. When the exchange is complete
the unit simply goes on bypass and sends the incoming new fluid through
its normal route back to the transmission. The old fluid is safely captured
inside the unit where it will remain until it’s time to refill for
the next service. It has a complete set of adaptors needed to hook up to
almost any type of vehicle. It can be recharged just before the next service,
allowing the unit to be loaded with the exact spec fluid required for each
service. This machine also has a pump that can be used for vehicles with
low pressure lines. This service usually takes about a hour to complete.

Power Steering Flush

We use the BG Power Steering Service Center.
It provides remarkably effective clean-up of both conventional sector and
rack-and-pinion power steering units. The entire power steering system is
flushed and replenished with new fluid in one simple operation without entrapment
of air within the components. Removes contaminated fluid, abrasive wear
metals and debris that grind away at valves and seals. This service is highly
recommended for the simple reason that the power steering system does not
have a filter which will trap harmful deposits. For a demonstration of what
this service does Click Here.

Engine Coolant Flush

We use the BG CT2 Coolant Transfusion System.
It installs new 50/50 coolant into a vehicle’s cooling system while
simultaneously removing the old coolant. Most vehicles can be serviced with
the engine off, thus preventing the common problem of continuous intermixing
of new and used coolant due to the closing and opening of the thermostat.
This process backflushes the vehicle’s cooling system, removing scale
and debris not accessible when going with the normal direction of coolant
flow. This machine also helps us to keep a cleaner working environment and
less of a chance of any water pollution. For a demonstration of what this
service does Click Here.

Fuel Induction
Service

We use the BG Inject-A-Flush® Apparatus
which provides a highly effective cleaning of the entire fuel system. It
is designed to be used with BG Air Intake System Cleaner. The service also
includes of BG 44K which rapidly and thoroughly removes engine deposits
in combustion chambers, intake manifolds, ports and on valves. It restores
flow in fuel injectors and cleans the entire fuel system. This service can
improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions. It actually restores
that “like new” driveability to an engine’s performance
and keeps it running better, longer and more efficiently. For a demonstration
